Come, Christians Join To Sing

The choir I sung in had a nice version of this hymn. Always a pleasure to belt this one out♪ Have a wonderful week!

Christian Henry Bateman (1813-1899) was ordained into the Church of England after being a Congregational minister.

The original incipit (opening line of the hymn) was “Come, children, join to sing.” Though changed in the Presbyterian hymnal to include all age groups, Bateman’s text contains direct, uncomplicated language suited for children.
